6x9 watercolor, acrylic, and ink on paper done a few days ago on our mountain trip. It is on a discarded book page and now most of the text is obliterated by paint. I had been photographing sea gulls again here in town; they fly over my office windows at work, too. This one sat perched on the concrete ledge of the roof as if waiting for a handout, the cheeky character. Since white gouache did not show up well on the paper I added white acrylic to bring out highlights. I really do like how this turned out using an unconventional support. Micron 01 pen used to sketch the bird.
